Mediclinic Limpopo has resumed elective surgical procedures to ensure that patients are not delaying much needed care and units are operating well within capacity to treat those requiring assistance. Mediclinic would like to reassure our community the hospital has put all the necessary measures in place to safely manage patients.
“We understand that many people may be avoiding hospital Emergency Centres or attending regular check ups for the chronic conditions. We would like to encourage the broader public not to fear seeking medical care when needed but to view screening and testing protocols as a source for reassurance and a sign that our patients’ safety remains a top priority,” says MC Botha, Hospital General Manager at Mediclinic Limpopo.
“Mediclinic Limpopo has implemented screening for patients, staff and other individuals coming to the hospital. We have separate Covid and non-Covid related treatment areas to further reduce your risk. Our staff have all been equipped with the necessary PPE to ensure that we are able to care for all our patients, whatever their medical needs. Each patient is issued with a cloth mask for the period of admission should they not have their own, unless a surgical mask is appropriate, to further reduce the risk of transmission,” explains Botha.
He continues, “Mediclinic understands the value of family members in the healing process, for this reason each patient testing negative for Covid-19 has access to visitors on a daily basis. A family member or friend can visit the hospital, complete the screening process and access the patient between 10am and 8pm each day.”
For those requiring minor surgery, Mediclinic Limpopo Day Clinic, situated less than 1km from the hospital, is an ideal solution. The day clinic functions as a COVID-19 free unit with all patients being tested before being admitted for their elective procedures.
It offers a safe and friendly environment for minor, planned procedures allowing patients to be discharged on the same day to recover further at home. Mediclinic is ready to safely receive you. Don’t put your health at further risk.
